Es mi primera tableta grafica y la amó. Revise varias marcas, especialmente de wacom y con pantalla. Al final me decidi por este modelo por 1 sola razon y las mas importante: Durabilidad. Basicamente todas las reseñas que puedes encontrar te diran que no conocen a nadie que pueda presumir de una tableta grafica con pantalla que hayan usado por años. Y esa es la principal ventaja, especialmente si es tu primera tableta. No compras una de gama alta para que al año ya no sirva. La segunda razon y muy importante es el numero de botones y el hecho de que puedas girarla para aquellos que son zurdos, la configuras de a cuerdo a tus necesidades y su funcionalidad y gran cantidad de atajos te permiten ahorrar mucho tiempo. Al principio te cuesta adaptarte al cambio cuando toda la vida has usado un mouse, pero una vez le agarras el ritmo, no puede vivir sin el. Ademas el material es de buena calidad. No estaba seguro de si comprar un modelo mas pequeño, pero al final opte por uno que me diera la oportunidad de ser creativo sin limitarme por mi espacio de trabajo. Y me encanta. Por ultimo, la modalidad bluetooth me ha sacado de varios apuros, especialmente cuando tengo un trabajo en la laptop. simplemente la desconecto de la PC de escritorio y activo el bluetooth y listo. Nunca he probado la capacidad del tiempo de bateria, pero sin problema puedes trabajar en una tablet por horas via inalambrica. Ademas los cables que vienen incluidos son muy gruesos, de buena calidad e incluyen para dispositivos con USB normal y el tipo C. Si hay algo "malo" es que el lapiz apesar de ser funcional, la goma donde estan los botones no es tan firme, si lo usas demasiado, es facil que se arruine. El mio ya no funciona despues de 6 meses, por el precio es batante comprensible que el material del lapiz no sea de gama alta, mas bien la critica va orientada en que deberia ser facil buscar lapicez para XP-Pen de repuesto de forma simple, pues resulta que algunos no son compatibles segun el modelo de tu tableta grafica. En cuanto pueda comprare uno nuevo, pero me asombra que los repuestos sean tan dificiles de buscar.

I recently had developed some intense wrist pain from using a mouse all day for my job. This is a great substitution for daily mouse use with my PC. For reference I am an architect and do not recall having seen any reviews form a similar profession (i.e. not strictly reviewed geared for more artist use). It did take a little to get used to the hover with the pen (when you make contact it “clicks” or draws depending on mode). My transition to using no traditional mouse at all took about a month and I don’t miss it.I frequently need to do drawing markups and it is much easier to do with a writing feature like this in Bluebeam - Especially if I have to sketch a building detail or something. In the past I’d have to either do this with program tools, or hand draw/scan/clean up scan, and then attach/insert it into the markup drawing pdf. God forbid I wanted it to a scale… With working remote due to covid it became less feasible to do my redline markups by hand on print copies due to not having a large format scanner at home and this is a nice compromise. It’s also nice to get that hand drawn quality for schematic drawings by using photoshop (or whatever other program combination), without having to scan and photoshop it clean before continuing or having to use a hard-line drafting program - which has a totally different feel to a client at that stage.I also like that the scroll wheel center (black circle) is a touch pad of sorts when in that mode. It is not terribly accurate, but it’s good enough that when I am working on paper copies but need to move the mouse to select something I can keep writing with my left hand and use my right hand to mouse over with this touch function without picking up the stylus pen. (Being ambidextrous is the best by the way, if you can train yourself to write with your dominant hand and use the stylus with either hand as needed to multi task work as needed.)Additionally, as an architect I have to draft in AutoCAD and Revit and this seems to do a good job as a mouse replacement for that. Slightly jumpier than a traditional mouse, but there are easy shortcut workarounds. It is imperative to have the scroll/zoom function for all these programs (as I found out the hard way with a starter tablet that did not have it) and this tablet delivers. I combine that scroll/zoom wheel with my main pen button set to middle click for a ‘pan’ function in many programs. It’s easy to use the pen with my dominant hand and scroll/zoom/shortcut key with my non dominant hand once I got the hang of it.The shortcut keys are easy to program and the interface program is easy to understand. I like that you can program different shortcuts for different programs. You can also switch between ink and mouse modes. Mouse mode works - you guessed it - like a mouse. Where you can move at variable speed across the screen and pick up the pen and move it but it doesn’t relocate on the screen like in ink mode. Ink is more of a screen to screen exact location. In ink mode you can hand-write in all kinds of different programs. Like draw in word documents, or written notes to text in outlook emails (if your writing is legible.. mine is not great).Additionally, I typically use three screens - a laptop and two externals for my line of work. In mouse mode you can set the full 3 screens to one mouse control area and the ‘mouse’ can traverse the whole area continuously. I also have a shortcut key set to switch monitor so when in ink mode I can click through and have it draw on one screen at a time (you can set it across all - but it becomes quite distorted since the ratios are skewed from tablet to 3screen stretch).As for the unit itself, it feels well made. Heavy enough to feel substantial but not enough to be obnoxious. It was relatively intuitive to download drivers and set up. The pen stylus has two buttons, a nice weight, and comes with several replacement nibs. The travel pen container is nice as well and the cap acts as a pen stand when not using the stylus. I like the option to be plugged in, work wirelessly via usb dongle, or connect wirelessly via Bluetooth. Battery life seems good (unit is not old so I will have to wait and see). For taking between home and office I was able to get a standard padded laptop protector sleeve that fit this nicely with a pocket for all the accessories (cord, pen case, manual, etc) and fits in my laptop bag with my computer.Overall pretty impressed with this for what I needed it for.

I have an old Wacom PTK-840 (no longer supported by drivers = lame!). So I wanted to get the Wacom PTH660, but at 400 dollars, I instead went with the Huion Q11K. And then its side keys failed within 6 days of getting it. Maybe this was a fluke (ratings suggest it was), but I returned it and decided I would shell out for the Wacom PTH660. The thing was a piece of junk. So laggy when it would draw, but most of the time pen strokes wouldn't do anything. I tested it in Illustrator CS 5.5. Maybe Wacom doesn't support older Illustrator versions. So I returned it and got the XP-PEN Deco SW (small wireless) for 110 dollars. Loved it the moment I started using it. Just remember to click "OK" after configuring the buttons so it keeps your configuration. Love the dial. It is much better than the Wacom finger dial thingy. I've only had it about 10 days, but it is less laggy than the Huion Q11K (and a million times less laggy than the Wacom PTH660), and the dial and button and layout are much better than Huion Q11K and Wacom PTH660. It is a really great tablet, very lightweight, easy to use, great layout and interface. The driver/configuration software needs some improving, but it is easy to figure out and works (though sometimes it disconnects and reconnects the device without me unplugging it - hence why it is important that you click "OK" after configuring the buttons the way you want, which can be customized with your particular program). I have read that smaller is better in size (less strain on hands/wrist), but I think I would have gotten the Medium size, though the Small works fine - just have to get used to it after the huge PTK-840. I highly recommend the XP-PEN Deco SW over anything else out there in the small tablet category.

So, I got this tablet for myself a few months ago because I was impressed by the reviews with it and I'd been looking for a new, affordable tablet. And, for a couple months, it worked great. It's smooth as can be, the controls are super easy to adjust to, and it helped me get back to drawing! When it works, it's absolutely fantastic.However, I think a connection is damaged in it; it used to be just fine working with the Bluetooth receiver only for that to stop working at some point. I don't know if the battery is loose, if it's the receiver, or if it's where I plug in the USB cord, but my connection keeps dropping and I find myself having to press my free hand ( which would normally be using the button controls ) against my USB cable where it connects to the tablet in order to make my laptop recognize the connection between my tablet and my computer.But when it works, it's excellent! I've put it at four stars because, apart from this problem, it's honestly a fantastic tablet for such a great price. I want to see if I can get in touch with customer support to see if this can be repaired or not.If you're looking for a good tablet, I do recommend this one, but just be aware of the connection issues that might pop up.

I purchased this as a gift for my SO who is artistically talented; but is accustomed to using canvas, paper and similar traditional mediums for their work (sketching, painting with watercolor/acrylics, oil and pastels).The medium size is BIG but in a good way, assuming you have the real-estate for it on your desk. Getting used to the way the input works quickly becomes second nature (by input I'm referring to pen movements on the tablet while looking at a computer screen rather than the tablet and your hands).The scroll wheel is really nice for adjustments on brush sizes and the inner portion of the wheel works as a trackpad. The buttons are helpful for productivity allowing quick changes after mapping desired specific in app/program functions or key combo bindings through the XP Pen software.I'd recommend getting the screen protectors available for it along with the sticker pack for placing on the tablets buttons; see photos for reference on the screen protector and tablet size for the medium.I wasn't sure which tablet to go with as there's so many available but I'm happy to report that they are enjoying it!
